RE: DVD online rentals??
JamesL, I was interested to read your apparently satisfied account of Amazon because I am about to leave LOVEFiLM, whose service has suddenly deteriorated dramatically, and I was thinking that Amazon might be a good alternative.
Are they good at sending you the popular new releases, or do you have to wait ages?
Do you have to change your three DVDs all at the same time or can you stagger them so you are never without any?
Any other comments about Amazon from you and other contributors would be received with interest.
Thank you
Padger
RE: Appalling LOVEFiLM service
LOVEFiLM used to be really good. I am interested in a wide range of types of DVD: recent feature films, classic old films, motor sport history, different types of music and quite a lot of foreign language films to help me with learning French. LOVEFiLM has such a big library that they cater for all my diverse interests. I particularly liked my LOVEFiLM arrangement where I could have two discs at a time for as long or as short a time as I liked. In the good old days, I regularly used to have about ten a month.
In the last couple of months though, they have been totally ignoring my top choices. None of my top five is in the top ten of their chart, yet they still can`t supply them. When I ask whether it is just a blip following their relocation, they just trot out the same message explaining their allocation policy. I have a feeling they are trying to get rid of me because the way I try to use them to the full is not good business for them.
Leave them is, however, what I am going to have to do, but I want to go to another supplier who offers the same sort of choice that LOVEFiLM did when they were good. Can anyone offer any recommendations for a mail order rental supplier which gives the sort of choice I am looking for?
Has anyone out there got any experience of the Amazon rental service for example?
